Almost anything is preferable to war, and almost any war is preferable to civil war.

Or so i have been told by relatives of mine who have actually been in wars.

Have you been in a war? If not, have you ever been subject to the draft and face to face with the prospect of going to war?

You may look down your nose at a gentleman’s demeanor but i think you misunderstand the purpose of a gentlemen’s demeanor. A gentleman’s demeanor has an express purpose of avoiding violence wherever and whenever possible. Violence is a last resort. Avoiding violence can be commendable when done with purpose and a rational endgame. These are not light decisions, to be made with the full force of emotion to the detriment of rationality. Have you studied war history?

My father was served in WWII honorably from start to finish. I asked him once casually a war related question and he gave me a stone cold pacifist sounding answer, to the effect that war was the absolute last resort. I was a bit surprised since I was accustomed to thinking of him as a decorated hero and yada yada. But he was serious with me at that time. All I could do was accept his answer since I did not have any personal experience with war. However i did redouble my efforts to study history because it seemed obvious to me that i had missed something very big and also right under my nose (or else my father was lying to me— this occurred as we were standing in line at a fast food restaurant and he had no reason to lie to me). It was the complete opposite of the answer i had expected from him. he was about 80yo at the time. take it for whatever it is worth. he signed on before pearl harbor and was honorably discharged from the AAC several weeks after VE day.

You don’t understand we have international collaborators conspiring to destroy us through a number of means. right now they are trying to steal the election. As that fails they will beg the U.N. to intervene so the UN will prop the door open for “peace keepers” which are coup forces. And those “peace keepers” put down civilians trying to fight for America’s freedom. Then more troops show up -and the UN never leaves.

But we wouldn’t last long if the UN ever got control, so there’s that...

China is trying to destroy us - asking them nicely if they would, in the spirit of fairness, abandon all current plots plans and infiltrators currently in play won’t work.

You’re still ignoring the fact that China is actively conducting war against us and advising we decide whether to have a war or not. IT’S.ALREADY.IN.PROGRESS.
